Product Personalization Profiles at Laser-Engraved-Gifts.com

Laser engraving systems are amazingly sophisticated pieces of equipment with the ability to personalize by marking on and/or cutting almost all common materials. However, not all materials are equally well suited to all types of personalization. Our "Personalization Profile", located at the top of every product description, gives you a quick look at the personalization options for that item.

Here are the definitions of the items in the Personalization Profile:

• Image Area: This gives you the dimensions of the area that can be engraved on the item. The area is specified as Width x Height in inches. Custom images may be up to the full size of the image area.
  

• Personalize With Text: Most items can be engraved with a wide variety of text fonts. Our six standard font selections are fonts that we know from experience engrave well on all materials. However, we have a HUGE font library so if you have a specific font you would like engraved for your project just contact us or enter the name of the font you are requesting in the "Customer Notes" box on your and we'll see if we can accommodate your requirements.

• Engrave Standard Graphic Icons: We have a large collection of standard graphic icons which can be engraved on many items and we add new graphic icons all the time. Each graphic icon is assigned a unique code and you just enter the code for the icon you want engraved into a box on the shopping cart. Here are some example graphic icons and their codes:

  
  
  
  

  Generally speaking an image area of about 1" x 1" is required to produce a good quality engraved graphic icon image. A "Yes" means that the material from which the item is made can produce a good graphic icon image and that this item has an image area large enough to produce a satisfactory rendering of most standard graphic icons.

Naturally, however, the number of possible graphics icons is pretty much infinite so if you have a special icon you would like engraved for your project just prepare your graphics icon and send the artwork to us.

• Photo Engrave: We have special software that can convert any color or B&W image into a format that can be laser engraved onto a variety of materials:

  
  
  
  

  Generally speaking an image area of about 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" is required to produce a good quality photo engraved image. A "Yes" means that the material from which the item is made can produce a good photo image and that this item has an image area large enough to produce a satisfactory rendering of most photo images. Just prepare your photograph and send it to us. Click here for detailed instructions on how to send us your artwork.
  

• Full Custom Engraving Available: For most items we can engrave using your special graphics, company logos or other artwork to produce fully custom engraved items. This is a perfect option for producing corporate gifts or promotional items. Just prepare your custom artwork and send it to us.

• Digital Proof Available: We can produce a pre-engrave digital proof for your review for all personalized items; depending upon the complexity of the item there is an additional charge of $5 to $10 for the digital proof. The digital proof is emailed to you at the email address you give us when you place your order and shows you the images that are going to be engraved on your item. For most simpler items with only text or standard graphic icon engraving we don't normally recommend the extra cost of a digital proof. However, for items with full custom artwork, items with photo engraving or when you are going to produce a quantity of items for gifts or a corporate promotion you should consider ordering the digital proof to make sure that everything looks like you want. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do order a digital proof, make sure you watch for it in your email. You must approve the proof before we proceed to engrave the item and this can slow down production if you are in a rush.
  

• Expedited Production Available: Our normal production time is 1 to 7 working days depending upon shop load. During the holiday rush season this increases to 1 to 10 working days. Large quantities or items that we must special order are not normally available for expedited production. We will always try to accommodate your scheduling requirements. Please Note: Production times represent production time from our receipt of order or your acceptance of the digital proof (if requested) to shipment; they DO NOT include shipping time in transit.
